the mails reappear if you restart mozilla (including ALL browser windows).

Dup of Bug 65303.

By the way, why you didn't search bugzilla before open new bug?
Bug 65303 is very easily found by searching bugzilla with "summary includes
rename" ("rename && folder" is maybe required to avoid too many hits).
